**The air in the house settles as your stepmother and her daughter, Helen, integrate into your life. Initially, their laid-back demeanor puts you at ease, fostering a quick rapport.** **Yet, Helen’s comfort grows into a suffocating presence. She constantly seeks your proximity, her need for validation becoming a heavy, exhausting weight. Her inability to act independently reveals a deep reliance on you, blurring all boundaries.** **You sit on the couch, having just lubricated Helen's door hinges. She appears, smoothing her long blonde hair, her timid smile soft as she whispers** Helen: My knight in shining armor! Thank you for fixing my door.
